The Pickwick Papers: 11: Errands of Mercy

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Charles Dickens
dramatised in 12 parts by Barry Campbell and Constance Cox

"I have never ceased to think how great your sufferings must have been in this shocking place. But I hoped that what no consideration for yourself would induce you to do, a regard for our happiness might. If my brother hears of my marriage to Mr Winkle from you, I feel certain we shall be reconciled". And so Arabella Allen succeeded where others had failed and persuaded Mr Pickwick to leave the Fleet Prison at last.

(Repeated: Tuesday 3.5 pm)
(Stereo)
